Frederick Delius: Spring Morning.

Frederick Delius 1862 -1934. 'Spring Morning' is the third of 'Three Small Tone Poems' by the composer c. 1888. This atmospheric melodic 'nature portrait' is a companion piece to his ' Idlle de prinetemps' composed a year earlier. Winter Night (sleigh Ride) and Summer Evening the two other pieces in the set also breath the freshness of the open air, so much a part Delius art, portraying nature in musical tones.

The video advances slowly from Spring to Summer following a path of seasonal scenes. with many wild flowers on the way.
Enjoy!

If only everyoine around the world could adopt and embrace the soothing and very melodic music of Frederick Delius then the Earth could be a much more peaCEFUL plACE to live, with much fewer wars and violence.

Frederic Delius is my preféré, my favourite composer, I'm french, we have Debussy, Vincent d'Indy, Jacques Ibert, Canteloube and of course Maurice Ravel, but the english and french composer that i prefer in secret is Frederic Delius his music speaks directly to my heart...

[gerardbegni]

This is one of these many evocations that Delius wrote for our greatest benefit. He was indeed gifted for that, even if he showed his mastery in other domains. This piece is a pure jewel.

[carolzimm]

Thank-you so much for this wonderful heavenly music I love all these composers a lot, they relate to a lot of feelings and immotions that I have..💓

[HOEYEN]

Jane, thank you so much for sharing this music. I’ve been listening to Decius since c.1990, but amazingly have never heard this piece until today 2 Aug 2019, on my birthday no less! What a discovery!

Feeling so quiet when listening to this and looking at such beautiful landscapes. Thank you truly +Jayne Anne Strutt

To think it took 50 years after he wrote this for it to finally get performed, mindboggling

[andynew]

Delius wonderful as usual. Thanks for posting with the lovely pictures.

[UKISOCIETY]

One of his underappreciated smaller works. Need to play this tomorrow.

[StewartBlues]

Beautiful, quite beautiful, thank you so much for all your efforts Jayne.

[TonusFabri]

Thought I knew every single piece Delius wrote, but this one was new to me Lovely...Thank you!

[barryhodgson]

So uplifting and soothing. Delius's music has always inspired me since I first heard his music some 45 years ago and it was a huge surprise to discover several years later that I live only 8 miles away from his birthplace. I have attended countless orchestral concerts at St George's Hall Bradford, but intriguingly heard very little of Delius's music there.

[MauriceBaker]

A beautiful interpretation of the music and a magical journey through the woods.

[TonusFabri]

A piece by Delius that's new to me??? Thank you!

Beautiful video, gorgeous photos! I have this CD and play it often. Amazing that you should post this now, just as I have recently been on one of my many Delius kicks!

Thank You Jayne, (and Fred) beautiful as ever. Is the photography centred around Yorkshire? it's very lovely and seemingly familiar.
